Tokyo Street Food Tour

Today’s shared tour will begin at 17:00. Be sure to bring an appetite: this is one Tokyo street food tour that is sure to please the taste buds. Meet with a local, food-loving guide at the train station and set off into the streets for a Japan-style food crawl. 

Veer off into the maze of laneways that fill the capital, and enter an izakaya for a distinctly Japanese experience. These small, Japanese-style pubs are popular gathering places for friends and colleagues to gather after work for a beer. The food on offer is meant to be shared and is thus served like tapas. The guide will order up a few traditional izakaya favourites such as yakitoiri chicken skewers, fresh tuna sashimi, or cold edamame soy beans. Sample the dishes and wash them down with a cold beer alongside the locals.

While dining, learn more about Japan’s culinary culture by observing the lively surroundings and hearing the guide’s personal stories. During the evening, stop at three venues, each with a distinctive style. These venues do not take reservations so the exact routing may change but the guide will ensure there is plenty to eat. Finish off the evening with a delicious dish of seasonal ice cream flavours.

Following this evening of culinary and cultural indulgence, continue to explore Tokyo’s nightlife independently or head back to the hotel. (D)
